Vantaggi
THE BRAND SCDA, & LOCATION.
nothing else.
Svantaggi
Did a research on LinkedIn profiles and thought the culture must be great as people are staying more than 5 years, to realised they are frogs in a well! First or 2nd career in their lives and probably gonna stay here forever.
The seniors associate level doesn't take ownership of the project; POOR LEADERSHIP skills. Makes one wonder if they could hold the same position in other well establish company. Oh, they are the best!
These seniors are good at pushing blames during reviews, agreeing with Principal, while they were the ones who gave "direction" and has seen your work plenty times. They doesn't speak for the team, neither have the courage to speak up for our design.
VERY HIGH TURNOVER RATE FOR NEWBIES! *ALERT*
They don't brief you on their standards, the hows and not. You just gotta figure out yourselves. you might wonder, "you can ask around". really you don't even know what to ask. they expect you to know. Lack of teamwork!
Designers doesn't engage in office, They communicate over Zoom even when we are in office. Seniors doesn't attend for presentation even if they are in charge if the project?! Make sense?
We whisper and text each other despite sitting nearby. Its unbelievable. We are working in a library?
Poor management, seniors are not confident in presenting their work to principal. They can't give constructive feedbacks either.
DESIGN MATTERS!
DO NOT JOIN IF YOU WANT TO EXPRESS YOUR CREATIVITY. They REPEAT design from past projects, and that's your project reference or Mood image. No point spending time to propose something else. It will look too complicated for their liking, Save your time if you seek growth and career progression.
Join to experience their toxic culture! Turn over rates are seriously high for newcomers. Don't ever feel bad for leaving. Be positive and treat it as long term internship at this branded company.
BENEFITS?
Annual leave given 14 days but forced to deduct 7days for Office closure during CNY and New year.
